Members of the Chinese car industry are busy hiring foreign engineers and designers. That trend apparently has not reached China’s Shaanxi Province yet. The province is home to state-owned conglomerate Shaanxi Victory. It’s automotive4 division made unremarkable trucks and vans. Very few knew of this venture. Now, Shaanxi is famous all the way to Detroit. The company copied the Cadillac Escalade as the master design for its new S102.

One thing I will give the counter-fitters is their “V” logo on grille looks very appropriate for a Cadillac. Place the Cadillac coat of arms inside of the V and it will look worlds better on a ‘Cadillac’ than the faux sport logo of today.
